Ranch dressing lovers with a valid passport have the chance to work for the condiment brand, Hidden Valley.

Despite ranch being a distinctly American invention, Hidden Valley is celebrating both National Ranch Day and the upcoming 250th anniversary of the U.S. by hiring four people to be “Ranch-bassadors.”

The job will require two teams of two people to spend this upcoming summer traveling around Europe to pair ranch with local foods and share the condiment with locals.

Selected candidates will work on the project for eight weeks, which includes seven weeks of all expenses-paid international travel through multiple European countries. The “Ranch-bassadors” are expected to work 40 hours per week to produce four short-form videos and one long-form YouTube episode.

Applicants must apply as a pair and be comfortable sharing housing. Applications go live March 31.

“This is more than a job — it's a cultural exchange powered by an incredibly versatile flavor,” Stacy Stokes, Vice President of Marketing at Hidden Valley Ranch, said in a press release.

“Ranch is unmistakably American. As we celebrate America's 250th, we're sharing this original taste with the world and inviting our biggest fans to help us bring The Flavor of America abroad. Does ranch taste good on literally anything? We can't wait to find out.”

Hidden Valley is not the first brand to offer a job to travel the world. Last year, Starbucks launched a brand new “global content creator” position.

The job required content creators who were expected to travel around the world and film their experiences at 10 to 15 designated Starbucks locations. In addition to being coffee lovers and world travelers, the creators had to be proficient in making and editing social media content using tools such as Photoshop, InDesign, CaptureOne, Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and CapCut​.

“Their job will be to capture their journeys to unique Starbucks locations around the world on social media – from Starbucks Hacienda Alsacia coffee farm in Costa Rica to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Milano to the breathtaking coffeehouses in Tokyo,” the description on the company’s website read at the time.

“The creators will highlight the care and craft that goes into every cup of Starbucks coffee as well as the diverse Starbucks experiences in communities around the world.”

One current Starbucks employee and one external candidate were hired to fill the two roles.
